Harry Reid is an extremely powerful senate majority leader. That makes him one of the top 4 or 5 most powerful people in the entire country. Of course a man like that is going to have friends who know a lot of things that most Americans would not know. It is totally conceivable that Reid would know someone who knows what Romney paid in taxes. Even if Romney did pay taxes maybe the person who told Harry Reid that Romney didn’t pay taxes actually misinformed Harry Reid. Look, the only way to get to the bottom of this is for Mitt Romney to release his taxes. He should release his taxes unless he has something to hide. I am starting to think that Romney has told some lies to the IRS and he is scared that if he releases his taxes then people who know the truth will see the lies that Romney told the IRS and prove that Romney’s lies to the IRS are indeed lies and then Romney could go to jail. Some people say that Romney can’t possibly have broken laws by what he reported to the IRS because Romney has surely been audited and if he broke laws then he would have gotten caught and gone to jail, but IRS staff do not know everything there is to know about Mitt Romney so Mitt Romney could have made false assertions to the IRS that the IRS does not have enough information to disprove. However, if Romney’s taxes were to become public then collectively all of the people who know all of the truths about Romney would see the falsehoods that he told to the IRS, and some of them might report to the media that some of Romney’s IRS assertions are lies. If that happened then Romney could possibly go to jail. I think that is why Mitt Romney won’t release his tax returns. Romney won’t release his tax returns because he doesn’t want to give people who know Mitt Romney a chance to compare the truths they know about Romney to the assertions that Romney has made to the IRS because Romney has lied to the IRS.
